  1. ?‍?As usual, a great read and substance from Ed Tait: What do Chris Walby, Joe Poplawski, Doug Brown, Andrew Harris, Jamaal Westerman, Bob Cameron, Gerald Wilcox, Ken Nielsen, Bob Swift and Jim Heighton all have in common? A few things, actually. They are all Winnipeg Blue Bombers legends. Each of them is Canadian. They have all been named as winners of the club’s Most Outstanding Canadian Player award at least once. Oh… and one more thing: not a single one of them was drafted by the Bombers. ?‍?He goes on to take a look at what the Bombers have done over the years and what to expect in the upcoming draft. Excerpts: -Dating back to 1956 and the first CFL Draft, the Bombers have had nine draft classes in which not a single player ever pulled on their uniform for a regular season game. -The Bombers’ woes of 2012-15 can also be linked – among other things – to the draft classes in 2012-13 that saw only three of 11 players selected actually play in games -Counter that with the work in the last three drafts where 13 of the 20 selections are on the roster; -Just to put that into perspective, the members of the 2016 class that made the club – Loffler, Trent Corney, Michael Couture and Shayne Gauthier – combined to play a total of 60 games last year. That’s more than the combined total games played of 21 draft classes in this team’s history. And those guys are all just entering their sophomore seasons. http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/04/20/canadian-content/
